BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
EXPRESS AND MAIL CARS RlFLED ON
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC ROAD.
The Robbers Prepare to BLOW up the Ex-
press Car-The Messenger Gives in
Several Thousand Dollars Stolen
Mail Car Killed Robbers Escape

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-One of the
most audacous, desperate, and successful
train robberies ever recorded occurred
yesterday on the west bound overland
train on the Southern Pacific railroad
near Tucson, Arizona. A despatch from
Tucson says: The west bound ex-
press due here at 1910 last even
ing was stopped and robbed at
Fapago station, IS miles east of here,
about $3.50. The number of men engaged
in the robbery is variously estimated at
five to eight. Col. Harper, the engineer,
when approaching the Papago side sta
ton was signalled by red lantern to stop.
He slowed down and as he approached the
light he noticed distractions on the track,
80 placed that IN case he failed to stop the
engine would spread the track and derail
itself Immediately on stopping dozen
or more shots were fired into the express
car and a man with pistol in each hand
boarded the locomotive and commanded
Harper not to get down.
The other robbers had in the meantime
been trying to pry open the express car and
failing to get it open they placed a stick OF
giant powder under it aud compelled Har-
per to light the fuse attached. This he
was obliged to do, but to avoid being
blown up the messenger opened the car
and the robbers took possession. They
uncoupled the engine, baggage ana eX-
press car from the remainder of the train
and made Harper get on the engine and
pull ahead two lengths. This being done
Harper was again put off and the robbers
took charge of the engine and pulled six
miles toward Tucson. Here they killed
the engine and left it.
During the run the robbers went
through the mail and express cars, but
did not get more than $1,000. They got two
packages ot railroad money, one of Sl2l0
and one of $500, and also two packages of
postage stamps, going to the postoffice at
San Francisco 1t is reported that the eX.
press messenger threw $500 in gold into
the stove and so saved it from the robbers
None of the passengers were moested.
The robbers are believed to be discharged

COMPOSITION OF oLEoMAReARINE.
Commissioner Colman Gives Some Facts
Concerning Its Manufacture.


WASHINGTON, April 2S.-"The subject
of oleomargarine will be treated in the
next bulletin from the agricultural de
partment," said Commissioner Colman
yesterday land the people of this and
other countries will receive full and eX
plcit instructions how to detect the pres
ence of deleterous matter in this most i'm
portant table luxury. From Investigations
made by this department it appears that
even the carcasses of horses, dogs
and swine have been utilized in the manu-
facture of oleomargarine, aud the manu-
facturers were not particular about the
condition or age of the me t and bones,
either. | had IA personal experience at my
home in st. Louis, when L went to a
butchers shop to get sbme meat for sew

In the refuse barrel at the place | often
saw maggots, and tly-olown meat was
conspicuous. When | asked the proprie-
tor what he intended to do with such ma
terial, he said it was intended for butter
factory. BY the use of acids and other
chemical preparations the manufact-
urers of counterfeit butter are en-
abled to destroy all offensive odors, and
some of them use about one fourth pure
butter to give their wares good appear
ance and taste and thereby many persons
considered experts are deceived. 1t is true
there is great deal of capital invested in
the oeomargarine business particularly
in the West, but that does not justify its
manufacture, in my opinion, for 1t Is
against the people and should be frowned.

have been in progress under the super

months. and the result of their observa-

OFFERED TO SELL COUNTERFEIT.
Arrest of Two Men Who Tried to Work the
Doodle" Swindle on Salesman.

For several weeks the police and government
detectives have had information that counterfeit
money was being sold and passed In indianapo-
lis, but difficulty was experienced in fixing the
identity of the doing the work Several
days ago George Meyers, a salesman for
wholesale liquor house, met two men IN saloon
on North Delaware street, who took him into
their confidence and told him that they had
some counterfsit money for sale at fifty cents
on the dollar, and that if he desired to invest
they would insure him that he need not be
afraid of detection. For the purpose of draw
ing them on Meyers appeared to be interested
in the scheme. and finally bargained for SlOO or
the counterfet bills, for which he pay
fifty. AS guarantee OF the good quality OF the
spurious paper the men agreed that when 1t was
delivered TO him they would go with him to a
bank and if the goods should be rejected the
trade would be considered of. It was first ar
ranged that the men should meet him at the
Bates House yesterday at noon, but on account
of business engagements the time was after
ward changed to 9 o'clock last night As soon
a. all the arrangements were made Meyers
went to detective Grady and put him in posses
sion of the information, and trap was arranged
for catching the men when they came to the
Bates House. Meyers was at the hotel last
night promptly on time, and Grady, Sergeant
Saurs and United States detective Carter were
near at hand few minutes after the appoint
ed time the two men came in, and calling Mey-
to side, of them said: How is II;
is it a go?r Yes" said Meyers
Before the money had been found Detective

more care would be exercised in tying them up.
